Ian - This photo was taken on a Sunday just after a cold front. Air temps were fine for walking the beach or sunbathing, but the water temp would have been too cold for me. South Padre Island gets more traffic for tourists. Also, the Gulf beach season does not start until June.

looks very stark and cold, at this time of year I would have expected the place to be packed.
